EDUCATIONAL$
CONDUCTED BY W. W. F. BRIGHT,
County Supt. of Education
The teacher's association will
hold its next meeting on Saturday,
October 28th, at Pickens. A treat
is in store for. tho teachrs who at
tend. Professors Haynes, Wyer,
O'Dell and Langston will make
talks on subjects that will instruct
as well as entertain others, beside
teachers. Trustees as well as pat
rons would learn much that would
be useful if they would attend.

Some Obseryailons.
During the time the schools run
last July and August al; the time
we could spare out of the ofhco
was spent in visiting the schools
as required by law. To perform
all the dutie3 required of this office
from the middle of July to the
middle of October would keep two
men busy all the time, hence tlese
obscrvations may be a little late,
much condensed, yet we hope some
good may result from this publji
cation.
In some cases the houses have
been inadequate to accommodate
the pupils. They were crowded
too much for comfort and were
more in a state of punishment than
we could recommend. The remedy
n all such cases is more room with
more windows. In some we find
Lhe seats very bad and would sug.
Iest that better ones be put in and
he height be regulated to suit the
ize of the pupil and if there were
lesks, so much the better.
In some cases the window and
loor shutters are apparently lost
Ahis might be remnedicd by using
iings and making the teacher ac
.ount for tho same during use.
In all schools we f3und black.
boards or something said to be
t blackboard, many of them very
near white. If you get a good live
teacher lie will want, use and noed
all the Eurface of the room not
occupied by Geors and windows, as
a blackboard. It is used by the
best teache.. in giving instruction
in all the studies and is a positive
necessity.
In many (asos wo found that the
trustees made regular visits to the
schools and gave aid and comfort
tc the teacher. This is the right
wvay to do and much good will be
accornplished by the proper atten,
tion to business.
In many of the schools we fint
the patrons are a little, negligent
of somo of their duties. It is al
leged that the children are not fur
nished with books, slateos, etc., si
as to enable the teacher to giv
proper attention to some of th
pupils. Mr. Patron do you sen<
two or three children to the cottoi
patch with one hoe and expect al
much accoinplished as wiouild bh
dune if all wero furnihi'd wvitl
hoes? 'rho reputation of the teachel
is at stake. Th'le futurt' usefulness
of your child is at stake. Yor

Consumption
is robbed of its terrors by
the fact that the best med
ical authorities state that it
( is a curable diseas-; nd
one of the happy things
about it is, that its victims
rarely ever lose hope.
You know there are all sorts of
secret nostrums advertised to cure
consumption. Son~e make absurd
claims. We only say that if taken
in time and tLe laws of health arce
proper ly observed,
SCOT T'S
